RICK OWENS

Rick Owens has a background in pattern making and fine arts which lead him into a career in fashion. He launched his eponymous fashion label in the mid nineties but it was not until a shot of Kate Moss almost a decade later wearing one of his fitted, distressed leather jackets appeared in Vouge, he gained worldwide attention and the support of American Vougue´s Anna Wintour.

Rick Owens' world is based increasingly on a dark gothic avantgardism largely made up of precious materials such as leather and silk with a considered apocalyptic decay.
